VENTING REQUIREMENTS

■

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented
(recirculating) installations.

■

Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.

■

Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.

■

Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or
metal foil vent is not recommended.

■

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a
minimum to provide efficient performance.

For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:

■

Use no more than three 90° elbows.

■

Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent between
the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.

■

Do not install 2 elbows together.

■

Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

■

The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a
damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.

■

Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

■

The size of the vent should be uniform.
